James,

You chose to ignore all of the information presented to you and continue to make statements that cannot hold water even in your imagination. Seems odd for an educated man such as yourself.

Now you say "It is easy to talk of so many people who have succeeded without education, what we have here mate, is not their money at stake but ours".

Surely you should consider taking even a cursory look at the facts before making such statements. As all good academics know research is the key. It doesn't take much research to discover that WM is one of the largest shareholders in CDU with almost 10 million shares. His holding is worth approx AU$34 million.

Now I admit that my research is limited by the fact that I only have access to the CDU top 20 shareholders list. If I had a top 10,000 shareholders list I may be able to find your shareholding somewhere so that I could provide an appropriate comparison to demonstrate relative importance.

Given the facts any reasonable analysis would surely result in the conclusion that WM has infinately more skin in the game that you or I do. This is surely at odds with your latest statement that it "is not their money at stake but ours".

I think its time to leave you educational biases in the academic ivory tower and come down to earth a little. I believe its also important to read what is actually written and be careful not to defame those that you have previously ridiculed. While I tried to provide you with some perspective on those that didn't go to tertiary education this is a far cry from your latest claim that they are "without education". There is a very big difference between not having a degree and being "without education".

Lunch time is over, now back to class.
